Athletes foot, or tinea pedis , is a fungal infection that often takes up residence between the toes or on the soles of the feet. It thrives in warm damp environments, which is why it’s a frequent companion in locker rooms, public showers and poorly ventilated shoes.
Symptoms:
Itching and burning sensation, red flaky or peeling skin. Blisters or sores, a strong unpleasant odor.
Prevention:
Keep your feet dry
Choose breathable footwear
Avoid going bare foot in public
Use anti fungal products.
